Shiraz showcase in November
2009-10-29
SOUTH AFRICA is increasingly becoming known internationally for the excellence of its Shiraz wines and soon a few fortunate wine lovers will be able to sample the very best that South Africa has to offer. Shiraz SA, the recently formed organisation for all producers of Shiraz, will be presenting their first ever Shiraz Showcase where approximately 60 winemakers from South Africa will be exhibiting their best Shiraz wines. This exclusive event will take place on Thursday 12 November at the Cape Town International Convention Centre and tickets will be limited to 300 guests only. The Shiraz Showcase will take place between 17:30 and 20:30. Tickets cost R100 per person and besides participating in this exclusive event, wine lovers will receive a tasting glass and catalogue of all the wines on show. Tickets can be booked through Computicket (www.computicket.co.za). According to Edmund Terblanche, Chairman of Shiraz SA, the association’s mission is to focus on the promotion of the image of South African Shiraz. “In our pursuit of this goal we want to create a sustainable culture of acceptance and enjoyment around the world for South African Shiraz as well as maintain an organisation that will fulfill the needs of its members.” Shiraz SA recently staged a successful technical workshop and tasting which was attended by more than 100 winemakers and viticulturists. International as well as local producers took part in panel discussions.
